I can't wait to see that later. When Pat gets really excited about a defensive play you know it has to be good.

[NomarSammy]

[mul21]

Sweet!!! Novoa for president!!

[Outshined_One]

I'm a nice and happy person in my life. I do my best to be a good guy to other people and remain calm about matters.

 

However, the Cubs somehow manage to turn me into a frothing lunatic. I don't get it sometimes.

 

Way to get out of the inning guys!

[Blueheart05]

Way to slam the door Novoa! I'm really liking what I've been seeing from him lately. Now, let's get some insurance runs!

[YearofDaCubs]

Clutch, clutch pitching and defense after the screwups.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Hairston & Novoa outstanding!!!!!

[Mizzou]

Alright, let's tack on some insurance runs.

[UMFan83]

How spectacular was that catch for those that can't see it? Better then Sosa against Pittsburgh last year?

Both my dogs are looking at me like I'm insane. It's a good thing I'm in the basement. People might call the police on me I was screaming so loud. :D

[mhuber92211]

[slicknickshady]

HAIRSTON!

[NorthsideAvenger]

Now do you people see why Hendry WANTED Novoa in the Farnsworth deal? I'm telling people now, Novoa is going to be the games' TOP set-up man before too long.
